Bruno is rude..Very rude..Like Ralph stated he likes to hear himself talk..Len can be rude also but not as bad. Kari ann is ok. I just wish Bruno would tone it down. Love the show and I wanted Ralph to win . The pro dancers are great..Hope Kirstie or Hines wins..

The judges made it virtually impossible for Ralph to advance to the finals. Too bad because he was great.

I agree with previous comments that Bruno is a self-aggrandizing narcissist with his own agenda. That said, it was obvious from the get go that Len and Carrie Ann, as well, were bent on keeping Ralph Macchio out of the finals. You could count on one hand any positive remark(s) given to Ralph and Karina before their elimination. Their low scores in the past week guaranteed viewer votes could not overcome the 50/50 combo to sustain the duo.
As for the motivation to prevent Karina from winning because she posed for Playboy, do the folks at ABC ignore the tabloid antics of Maxim? They have fallen all over KA as they do with Hines Ward. Ralph Macchio NEVER spoke back to the judges because he is too much of a gentleman AND a scholar. I know little about his career other than the Karate Kid movies, but I admire his comportment throughout this entire charade. I have heard him in interviews since he was voted off and his remarks have been appropriate. Rather than criticize the judges on the final show in which he participated, he just chose not to mention them in any way.
A relative happened to be a ballroom dancer in the seventies and eighties. He has seen more errors made by KA and HW than some of the other couples. Why do none of the judges choose to acknowledge to comment? Pre-determined winner, that's why. Time for new judges and for ABC to re-evaluate the behavior of the current three.
Bravo Ralph Macchio for not lowering yourself to their level. Bravo to Romeo, also, whose treatment was no better.

Let's face it people - it was all in the plan - She is not going to take the merror ball - it was all about the young lady who posed for Payboy.
I believe that what she did is her business. However I also believe that there was no way that ABC would let them win, all because of Karina's choice to do Playboy. And that just my own feelings on the subject. I love Ralph, he's always been one of my favorites.
Karina is a wonderful dancer.

Bruno is a pig, he should be off the show. Ralph was great on the show, and really put his heart into it. He deserved to be respected. First Bruno said " give me sex man" then they get slammed for being sexy! Get rid of Bruno!!!!!!

While I like Bruno in a funny way and he makes people laugh (sometimes) he should be ashamed of what he said to Karina. Absolutely uncalled for!! Karina is a beautiful woman and Ralph is a true gentleman. I felt so bad for the comment and how it made them feel. He should not get away with it.

I have watched this show and have loved Bruno. I thought he brought a flair of humor to the judging table. However, I am disgusted with the comment he made to Karina. She has never been one of my favorite dancers but this season she was better and I loved the gentleman that Ralph was throughout the show. I am shocked and disgusted and a bit tired of the Bruno antics at the judging table....He begs for the contestants to shake it, for sexuality, for them to take risks and then when they do he condemns them. It was almost as if the judges decided who they wanted in the finals and they gear their comments to make America vote that way. I was sorry to see Ralph go...would have been better if Bruno was sent home and Ralph was made the judge in his place.

Definitely Bruno was out of line. Does he think he is a prima donna? he acts like one.
he does not have class and that you do not learn that. It almost come as a trashy show. Sure I am not watching next this year if is behavior does not change.

It is about time that the producers of this show either pull Bruno back into line or fire him.
He is taking advantage of his position as a front-line judge in order to promote himself as some kind of cult personality and promote his own career.
He should realise that the audience watch this show for the dancing, not to be turned off by his publicity seeking antics.

Maybe Carrie Ann could tone down her love fest for Hines too. Don't get me wrong. I love Hines and Kym. He always makes me smile. But technically Chelsea is a far stronger dancer and Carrie Ann very NOTABLY slams her 2 weeks in a row. No secret that Carrie Ann is NOT unbiased.

While Bruno's comment was totally out of line, it has nothing to do with his being a "flaming homo-sexual" or "constantly strutting his gayness," Anita and Carol Penry. How old are you ladies? And how is your inappropriate and offensive language any different from his?
Carol Penry - 13 years ago
Bruno is repulsive and so full of himself, constantly strutting his gayness. If Dancing
With the Stars wishes to remain top rated, this will fire him.
Anita - 13 years ago
I have always liked Bruno and thought he made the show with his remarks but think he has gone to far to many times this year. Last night he just went to far. I will not watch this show again if he is a judge and don't know how they think they will get stars to come on the show if they have to subject themselves to his vulgarity. Who is Bruno but a flaming homo-sexual.
